Camping in the Modern World – Practical vs. High Tech

Remember when you used to go camping with your parents? Well, a lot has changed since then and now campers are using the latest technology to make their outings more pleasant and their baggage lighter. Although you might think that technology ruins the essence of camping, you should give these functional items a shot.

The smallest stove in town

It is an absolute necessity to have a stove, no matter where you go camping. This way you can prepare tea and even make spaghetti. The most important feature of the stove is that it is as small as possible so it is perfect for the trips when you can’t carry a lot of things. Look for the Pocketrocket backpacking stove.

Waterproof and washable blanket

There is nothing better than having a cozy blanket with you on your camping trip. Just think about a blanket that you can place on the wet grass and then pack it up. The one that you should be thinking about comes with straps that you can secure to your backpack.

Shoes and bottle opener

We all know that for camping you need special shoes, but how special should they be? If you are willing to adopt new approaches to camping, you could be thinking about shoes that you can open bottles with. Now this is a truly multifunctional item.

Headlamps

When it’s dark you might want to keep your hands free. In this case you should be thinking about getting headlamps. The best ones also come with a red light. These lamps are great for hiking because they make you visible but they don’t bother your sight.

Collapsible kettle

After you use your shoes for opening beers at night you might want to have some strong tea in the morning. In this case you should have a kettle made of stainless steel and silicone that collapses to a height of only 4.5 cm. This way you will have more space for other things in your backpack.

Triple whammy

Multipurpose is the keyword when it comes to camping. Consider an item that works as a phone charger, radio, and a torch. Those are the best products that are eco-friendly and that get their power from the sun. If there is absolutely no sun, the product also comes with a hand crack.

These are the items that you should have on your shopping list before hitting the tracks.
